How to Add a WhatsApp Button to Your Website

A floating WhatsApp button turns website visitors into conversations. Here is how to add one to any site.

How it works

Step by step

Generate a click-to-chat link with your number and an optional pre-filled message.

Use a widget from your WhatsApp platform, a website plugin, or a simple HTML link with a WhatsApp icon.

Add a floating button in a corner that stays visible as visitors scroll.

Features

Match the button to your brand and set a helpful default message for context.

Route incoming chats into a flow or inbox so visitors get an instant response.

FAQ

Do I need a plugin to add a WhatsApp button?

Not necessarily. A plain HTML link with your wa.me URL works anywhere, though widgets and plugins add a floating design and extra options.

Does a WhatsApp button work on mobile and desktop?

Yes. The link opens the WhatsApp app on mobile and WhatsApp Web or the desktop app on computers.
